English term or phrase: in-fill and satellite development
Área de petróleo:

Now we can look ahead with real confidence to continued production at current levels for another decade. Not primarily from new discoveries - because the sizable fields have already been developed - but from an extensive programme of in-fill and satellite developments around those established fields.

Perforação de interubicaçoes

In addition, there are large amounts of what can be collectively termed non-conventional oil. It is made up of heavy oil and tar; oil dependent on enhanced recovery techniques that change its fluid properties in the reservoir by such methods as steam injection; oil in hostile environments; oil from late-stage infill drilling to tap small pockets missed by the primary wells; and oil in accumulations too small to be viable exploration targets.

--> infill drilling to tap small pockets missed by the primary wells

MY SUGGESTION
um programa extensivo de perfuração secundário e de desenvolvimento periférico (VIA?sátelite?)

?satellite' can mean 'peripheral' or 'via satellite' in your context -
see this page

SEE ALSO HOW 'INFILL' WAS TRANSLATED TO SPANISH (NOTHING FOR PORTUGUESE)

) Reservas incrementales que se atribuyen a perforación de interubicaciones (infill) que podrían ser clasificados como probadas si es que el espaciamiento reducido hubiera sido aprobado a la fecha del estimado

THIS CONVEYS THE IDEA OF 'IN FILLING' VERY WELL, BECAUSE IT OBVIOUSLY MEANS DRILLING BETWEEN THE MAJOR WELLS.

NEITHER MY DICTIONARIES NOR THE INTERNET INDICATE THAT 'INTERUBICAÇÃO' EXISTS, BUT 'UBICAÇÃO' DOES EXIST, HENCE THE RENDERING ABOVE
